Deportation is not prison, and most of the world doesn’t share the US’ hardon for humiliating criminals - but only if they are poor and not the government approved genetic background.
You assume that they are violent criminals and not just people who overstayed visas or are victims of a very slow refugee system.
Trump has so many felonies, so many that are clear red flags showing that he shouldn’t be in charge of anything, and he is now the president of the United States. These people do not deserve the indignity of being sent home in chains on an unannounced military aircraft while that stupid fuck gets to prance around without any consequences at all.
There’s being a devil’s advocate and there’s being stupid and cruel for the sake of it. You actually don’t need to “balance light and dark”.
Being a devils advocate is not enlightened centrism or bringing ‘balance’. It’s having a debate for the sake of having a debate. I don’t hold those views, hence why they’re so marked. Otherwise political discussion drains away as everyone sits in their respective silos. Im inviting people (if they want) to articulate their view beyond their emotional reaction.
You’re really not doing that and I do not have the time or energy to explain to it to you. Congrats on your opportunity to think on that, I wish you much luck.
This devil’s advocate position your holding is very akin to fascists “just asking questions”.
You seem to equate any lawbreaking as requiring handcuffs and imprisonment. So by your “devil’s advocate” stand it seems like you think leaving your Christmas lights up deserves handcuffs and imprisonment. Do you agree?
What situation do you think handcuffs should or should not be used when dealing with someone breaking the law?
Lol. See… this is why it’s necessary to add it. I’m a British socialist. I don’t hold those views, I value debate for the sake of it. Else everyone sinks further into their political silos, casting things in black and white.
Optics discussion aside, I think it cost like $800k to transport them via C130. There’s no reason to use this method other than to grandstand. They’ve sent thousands of folks back to Colombia via commercial and chartered flights.
Given that people breaking the law are routinely transported while handcuffed in non commercial police vehicles, what specifically is the issue with transporting them on something other than a civilian jet?
are you sure about that. a great multitude of things which were one thing on january 19th 2025, will never be the same things again after january 20th 2025
Devils advocate: these people broke the law, are the optics of them being transported in a “prison plane” really out of line with what’s happened?
Deportation is not prison, and most of the world doesn’t share the US’ hardon for humiliating criminals - but only if they are poor and not the government approved genetic background.
Devils Advocate: What they did was illegal though. Had they been transported to a cell in a prison van would that have been inappropriate?

Sidenote: fuck the devil and fuck his advocates
And fuck this guy!

You don’t need to add the “devils advocate” part, we’re already past 2010, we know is your own opinion.

+1 convincing argument
Even IF it were a legitimate way to treat people who’d broken the law, it’s an unnecessarily expensive way of doing it
Military cargo planes are not prison planes lol
My mistake, my phrasing could have been better.

Look into that law a lot more. It has been treated as less than jaywalking for decades. This is not a “breaking the law” like murder or theft.
Devils Advocate: that might be the problem, no?

Devils Advocate: they broke the law. Had they been transported handcuffed in a prison van would that be “cruel and unusual punishment”?
